[gentoo-amd64] Asus Z9200km ACPI locks machine: output with ACPI debug

[gentoo-amd64] Asus Z9200km ACPI locks machine: output with ACPI debug

[Brian Litzinger]

Asus Z9200km laptop with AMD Turion 64 MT-37 locks up during early
kernel boot in ACPI.

I compiled ACPI with debug messages turned on.

I typed this in from a photograph:

CPU: AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology MT-37 stepping 02
tbxface-0109 [02] load_tables : ACPI Tables successfully acquired
Parsing all Control Methods:
Table [DSDT](id 0005) - 1084 Objects with 56 Devices 344 Methods 26
Regions
ACPI Namespace successfully loaded at root ffffffff8053cb00
evxfevnt-0091 [03] enable : _

It is locked at the underbar above. Eventually the CPU fan goes into
high mode. The only way to recover is a power cycle.

This is with kernel gentoo-sources 2.6.17-r2. 2.6.17 and 2.6.11-r11
behave similarly.

Any thoughts?

Unplug your USB devices before booting the laptop.
It is a very well discussed ACPI bug on google and you can get some fixed 
ACPI tables to compile into the kernel.

I've read extensively about that bug and tried everything
suggested including building kernels with the various DSDT tables
provided built in.

All lockup at the same point.

The 2.02 BIOS downgrade option is also not available for model.

Sadly, everyone figures I am running into the same bug and am simply
to lazy to use the fixes others have had success with.

So I'll just sit in my corner, all alone.

This is odd as I got the same model laptop with 2.6.16-r5 (I think) with 
the latest bios version and the bug goes the same way as everybody else.

You could always run a kernel with no acpi, though that's not so great for 
a laptop

No doubt everyone is right.  Running with ACPI isn't so bad.  Just wish
the thing would actually turn off after a halt.
